Additional Info
In this study in three-dimensional character reconstruction, Cornelis Bennema presents a new theory of character in the New Testament literature. Although character has been the subject of focused literary-critical study of the New Testament since the 1970s, Bennema observes that there is still no consensus regarding how character should be understood in contemporary literary theory or in biblical studies.

Many New Testament scholars seem to presume that characters in Greco-Roman literature are two-dimensional, “Aristotelian” figures, unlike the well-rounded, psychologized individuals who appear in modern fiction. They continue nevertheless to apply contemporary literary theory to characters in ancient writings. Bennema here offers a full, comprehensive, and non-reductionist theory for the analysis, classification, and evaluation of characters in the New Testament.

Judas Brief : A Critical Investigation Into The Arrest And Trials Of Jesus
$24.93

Pereset Press
Based on detailed historical evidence and logical analysis of inconsistencies within the gospel accounts of the events leading up to the arrest and execution of Jesus, Greenberg argues that Judas never betrayed Jesus and that the Jewish priests never sought to have Jesus executed. According to Greenberg, Judas, acting on behalf of Jesus, together with the Jewish High Priest, negotiated a deal with Pilate to avoid Roman military assaults in a crowded city by keeping Jesus under house arrest with the High Priest until after the Passover holiday and then allowing him to go back to Galilee. But Herod Antipas, ruler of Galilee, feared Jesus’ popularity back home and successfully pressured Pilate to break the agreement and execute Jesus. This landmark study is the first major historically-based challenge to Christian accusations of Jewish involvement in the death of Jesus. Catholic Biblical Quarterly wrote that Greenberg “has a keen eye for the ways religious and political motives have shaped the story of Jesus’ arrest and execution.”

Can We Still Believe The Bible (Reprinted)
$34.11

Challenges to the reliability of Scripture are perennial and have frequently been addressed. However, some of these challenges are noticeably more common today, and the topic is currently of particular interest among evangelicals
.
In this volume, highly regarded biblical scholar Craig Blomberg offers an accessible and nuanced argument for the Bible’s reliability in response to the extreme views about Scripture and its authority articulated by both sides of the debate. He believes that a careful analysis of the relevant evidence shows we have reason to be more confident in the Bible than ever before. As he traces his own academic and spiritual journey, Blomberg sketches out the case for confidence in the Bible in spite of various challenges to the trustworthiness of Scripture, offering a positive, informed, and defensible approach.

Pattern And The Prophecy
$36.00

We live in perilous times: the truths of Christianity are under daily attack. Anti-religious books are everywhere – even in “Christian” bookstores. Consider The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, God is not great by Christopher Hitchens, or The End of Faith by Sam Harris. These books and others are converting America to a secular, atheist state. Plus, Islam is growing worldwide. Fewer people identify themselves as Christians than in the past, a decrease of 10 to 20 percent in just the last few years. Young people are leaving the church in record numbers, as many as 70 percent in a decade. Intellectual skepticism is growing at an unprecedented pace as the truths of the Gospels are under daily assault. What can we do? Clearly we must confront these attacks and beat them at their own game: reason and science. James Harrison shows us how to do this in The Pattern & The Prophecy: God’s Great Code. At the core of all the sciences is mathematics. The author proves God put as much mathematics into His Word as he placed in His Works. Everyone knows the number of the Antichrist, but who knows the number of Christ or the number of Jesus? And how is Jesus’ number related to Noah, to being born again, and the resurrection. And since fishermen never count fish, what is the purpose of exactly 153 fish from John 21:11? Harrison reveals all this and much, much more proving mathematics lies at the heart of God’s Holy Word from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21, the Bible’s first and last verses. Armed with this absolute certainty Christians can convert any non-believer. As Isaiah 54:17 says, “No weapon forged against you will prevail.” After reading this book, you will be an expert on the Bible’s patterns, numbers, and symbolism. You have never read like this before – a book that comes along once in a lifetime to change lives forever. This book is destined to become an American classic. Look for yourself! Included are many color photographs, numerous illustrations, bibliography, proofs, and three indexes: scriptural, number, and subject. Easy to read and informative, this book will enrich the spiritual life of every Christian. This book has garnered a consistent string of rave reviews – here are two: The author, guided by the Holy Spirit, connects Old Testament dates and history and connects them to New Testament reality, straight forward to our days. With even-handed treatment that presents different views in an organized and logical form, The Pattern & The Prophecy is a grea

Wisdoms Wonder : Character Creation And Crisis In The Bibles Wisdom Literat
$28.99

Explores the biblical wisdom books anew through the interpretive lens of wonder

Wisdom’s Wonder offers a fresh reading of the Hebrew Bible’s wisdom literature with a unique emphasis on “wonder” as the framework for understanding biblical wisdom. William Brown argues that wonder effectively integrates biblical wisdom’s emphasis on character formation and its outlook on creation, effectively breaking an impasse that has plagued recent wisdom studies.Drawing from various disciplines — from philosophy to neuroscience — Brown discovers new distinctions and connections among Proverbs, Job, and Ecclesiastes. Central to each book, he claims, are certain “texts of tremendum,” which evoke the wide range of wonder’s nuance, from “fear seeking understanding” to confounding perplexity to unbridled joy.

An extensive revision and expansion of Brown’s Character in Crisis (Eerdmans, 1996), this book demonstrates that the wisdom books are much more than simply advice literature — with wonder as the foundation for understanding, Brown maintains that wisdom is a process with transformation of the self as the goal.

Prophetic Impact : When Tomorrow Becomes Today
$20.61

When Tomorrow Becomes Today
Declaring the end from the beginning…(Isaiah 40:11)

Have you ever wondered what the seemingly strange behavior of a prophet has to do with God’s purposes for today and in the generations to come? There seems to be a lot of mystery surrounding the office of the prophet. There is even more mystery concerning the personality of the prophet. Is this behavior necessary?

Prophetic Impact was written with a twofold purpose:

To help remove the mysteries of this office
To bridge the chasms that seem to leave our past; our present and our future disconnected.

Every true prophetic word will take us to where Jesus is and equip us to do what Jesus did for the same reasons that Jesus did what He did. He was the first born of many brethren and he came to reveal the Father.

The prophet speaks to the value and the edification of the body of Christ at large. The prophet will cause individuals to ultimately focus on the purposes of God for the entire body.

Gospel According To Daniel
$24.70

Often we read the book of Daniel in one of two ways–either as a book about a heroic man whose righteousness should inspire us to keep the faith no matter what our circumstances, or as a roadmap to the end times that can, through careful study, perhaps tell us the day and hour (or nearly so) of Christ’s return. Both, says Bryan Chapell, are sadly missing the bigger picture, that God is the hero of this story and he is in the midst of his unrelenting plan to rescue his people from their sin and its consequences. We mustn’t simply make the man Daniel the object of our worship nor the subject of our debates. We may differ about prophetic details, Chapell says, but we should never miss the point that the book of Daniel is, like all of Old Testament Scripture, pointing us toward the grace of God, ultimately revealed in Christ.

Pastors, teachers, and individual Christians studying the book of Daniel will find this volume a welcome addition to their library.

How God Became Jesus
$18.99

In his recent book How Jesus Became God: The Exaltation of a Jewish Preacher From Galilee historian Bart Ehrman explores a claim that resides at the heart of the Christian faith— that Jesus of Nazareth was, and is, God. According to Ehrman, though, this is not what the earliest disciples believed, nor what Jesus claimed about himself.

The first response book to this latest challenge to Christianity from Ehrman, How God Became Jesus features the work of five internationally recognized biblical scholars. While subjecting his claims to critical scrutiny, they offer a better, historically informed account of why the Galilean preacher from Nazareth came to be hailed as ‘the Lord Jesus Christ.’ Namely, they contend, the exalted place of Jesus in belief and worship is clearly evident in the earliest Christian sources, shortly following his death, and was not simply the invention of the church centuries later.

How did she get into her present situation, and what changed in her life to take her from failure to freedom? Is it your story, too?

Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. ~ Jeremiah 33:3 ~

It was there that God healed her from mental illness, and alcohol and drug abuse, which spanned more than 30 years. Physical, sexual and emotional abuse led to multiple marriages, three suicide attempts, and several stays in two psychiatric hospitals.

Are you tired of making wrong choices? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired?

Dare to explore the mighty things that God has for you. Barbara’s journey will transform your faith and inspire your life. Her extreme testimony will take you from tears of sorrow to tears of joy.

Come Away With Me
$19.36

“The woman was given the two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly to the place prepared for her in the desert, where she would be taken care of for a time, times and half a time, out of the serpent’s reach” (Revelation 12:14).

“After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words” (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18).

“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left” (Matthew 24:34-41).

This book is not about prophecy, though we discuss a lot of it. This book is about a love affair with the true God of the Universe. All of our human relationships were designed by God to show us how to share love with Him in worship.

Jesus is going to return soon to pick up His bride. The time is short. We are already supposed to be ready for Him. If you can feel that in your heart, then you are ready for this book. We will explore the Bible record of rescue for those who please the Almighty, and we will examine the prophetic implications for our times. Lord Jesus Christ, we are ready, we are willing, and we want to go with You!

Its Almost Here
$42.48

THE WORD IS IN … Israel’s future is past.

The Christian New Testament Church is Israel. The Church is the fulfillment of Old Testament Judaism. There is no urgency or even necessity for the U.S. to become energy independent. Roman Emperor Nero was Revelation’s “Antichrist.” Islam’s ultimate goal is universal peace and justice. Since Christ’s resurrection and ascension the Church has been experiencing the “Millennium.” Rapture of the Saints is a figment of the imagination. God is too good to eternally condemn anyone. The entirety of humanity will ultimately be saved because the proclamation of the Gospel will finally overcome all the evil and corruption in creation. All will be well. Think good thoughts. Be happy.

The statements made in the paragraph above are either distortions of Biblical truth or whimsical nonsense, which this book on prophecy was written to expose to the 21st Century.

God Is Always At Work Even When You Do Not Know It
$15.61

God is always at work! He moves in ways we do not comprehend. In the ancient Biblical story of Esther a most intriguing and fascinating narrative unfolds. A Jewish queen in a Persian empire and a wicked Persian king set the stage for one of the most challenging stories in ancient literature.

The theme of this historical book usually surrounds Esther but the more this writer investigates the book there is a greater purpose. God is always at work even when we do not know it. God’s name is not mentioned in the book. Yet His presence and leadership is all through the book. When you and I face difficult challenges in life we may sense that God is not working and perhaps we wonder if he even cares. The story of Esther is one of the most comforting of Biblical books as the reader begins to sense the unique work of God. God not only cares but he is orchestrating events behind the scene. I pray that on finishing this volume readers will love and admire the God of Scripture in a new way.

Often studies on Esther major on the characters. From the arrogant king to the magnificent queen there is intrigue and mystery. One person is unnamed. He is orchestrating the entire episode. He is the Almighty God.

It compares the Jesus Seminar’s approach with current evangelical practices of searching in terms of their evidential apologetic impact on the trustworthiness of the Gospels. A number of well-known, contemporary evangelical scholars are involved in the so-called “Third Quest” for the historical Jesus. This book raises serious questions about such an endeavor.

Abingdon Introduction To The Bible
$45.99

This comprehensive introduction launches beginners into the world of biblical studies.The Bible has profoundly influenced the western world. Many of its characters and stories are well known and yet, oddly enough, wide swaths of the Bible are unknown and misunderstood. The laws and teaching contained within it have shaped contemporary thinking in ways many do not realize. Equally important, two of the world’s largest religions-Judaism and Christianity-consider the Hebrew Bible to be sacred and to contain enduring truths about beginnings and creation, life and death, the world, and what it means to be human.

This comprehensive introduction launches beginners into the world of biblical studies with clarity and precision. The authors give an overview of each book of the Bible with a brief discussion of relevant controversies and debates. Jewish and Christian (Protestant and Roman Catholic) views are compared and contrasted, while simultaneously illustrating the importance of the Bible for religion, western jurisprudence, ethics, and contemporary conceptions of the family, morality, and even politics. With illustrations and charts, this a text that is both student and teacher friendly.

The Holy Land Key introduces readers to Israelis who share insights and experiences that are fully consistent with the themes of the ancient prophets. Bentley removes prophecy from the realm of academic study and instead illuminates prophetic revelations through the lives of Israelis who soon will be in the vanguard of the leading events of the end times.

Reality Grief Hope
$22.99

Brilliantly applies crucial biblical prophetic messages to our contemporary society

Walter Brueggemann is one of the most highly regarded Old Testament scholars of our time; talk-show host Krista Tippett has even called him “a kind of theological rock star.” In this new book Brueggemann probes the tasks performed by the ancient prophets of Israel and points out striking correlations between the destruction of Jerusalem in 587 B.C.E. and the catastrophic crisis of 9/11 in A.D. 2001.

Brueggemann identifies a characteristic ideology of “exceptionalism” — chosenness, entitlement, privilege — which must be countered by prophetic realism and truth-telling. Denial must give way to honest grief. And, finally, widespread despair must be overcome by a buoyant hope. This sequence of ideology-realism, denial-grief, and despair-hope corresponds to Brueggemann’s unpacking of the books of Jeremiah, Lamentations, and Isaiah.Thoughtful readers will find provocative fare aplenty in Brueggemann’s Three Urgent Prophetic Tasks.

Additional Info
At the origin of the Watchers tradition is the single enigmatic reference in Genesis 6 to the “sons of God” who had intercourse with human women, producing a race of giants upon the earth. That verse sparked a wealth of cosmological and theological speculation in early Judaism. Here leading scholars explore the contours of the Watchers traditions through history, tracing their development through the Enoch literature, Jubilees, and other early Jewish and Christian writings. This volume provides a lucid survey of current knowledge and interpretation of one of the most intriguing theological motifs of the Second Temple period.

God Speaks We Listen
$18.11

Most people spend lots of time praying, meditating and talking with God. Do we ever think about listening? Do we listen to God when he speaks to us? Nobody tells us how to do it. Listening takes practice but talking comes easy. We like the way our voice sounds, even when we pray. If we stop talking and start listening, God will speak to us. Just think about Samuel and Moses and Noah. Their lives changed dramatically when they listened to God. We should meet God on a regular basis, not only to talk with him but also to listen. “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalms 46:10). Being still is a key to listening. Being quiet is another. Both takes practice. Our busy lifestyle seems to hurry us along so fast we never have time to be still and be quiet. Many men in biblical times had this same problem, but when they learned to listen, God made amazing changes in their lives.

God Speaks We Listen visits some of these men. They can teach us how to listen. God still speaks to us today, if we will only listen.

What Rev. H. Idonije presents to us in this book is not mystical, nor scientific in the secular sense, but rather that higher wisdom and blessed science of Biblical economics from the Holy Spirit by the Word of God unto the faithful. It is the spiritual science of the stewardship of material wealth. In the pages here you will learn the application of Jesus’ words in John 6:27, “Labor not for the meat (or investment) which perishes, but for that meat which endures unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.”

Figure Of Adam In Romans 5 And 1 Corinthians 15
$81.66

Introduction

1. Status Questionis On The Adam Typology In Paul

2. The Figure Of Adam In Ancient Jewish Sources

3. The Figure Of Adam In 1 Corinthians 15:21-22; 45-29, And Romans 5:12-21

Conclusion

Bibliography

Additional Info
It is widely recognized that in some of his letters, Paul develops a Christology based on a comparison between Adam and Christ, and that this Christology has antecedents in Jewish interpretation of Genesis 1-4. But Paul was not concerned simply to develop themes found in scripture.

Felipe Legarreta gives careful attention to patterns of exegesis in Second-Temple Judaism and identifies, for the first time, a number of motifs by which Jews drew ethical implications from the story of Adam and his expulsion from Eden. He then demonstrates that throughout the “Christological” passages in Romans and 1 Corinthians, Paul is taking part in a wider Jewish exegetical and ethical discussion regarding life in the new creation.

Storytelling God : Seeing The Glory Of Jesus In His Parables
$22.50

The prodigal son. The good Samaritan. A treasure hidden in a field. Most of us have heard these parables before. Yet if these oft-repeated tales strike us as merely sweet, heartwarming, or sentimental, we can be sure we’ve misread them. Jesus’s parables are simultaneously working to conceal and reveal profound spiritual truths about God, humanity, the world, and the future-and we must learn to plumb their depths. A careful reading of the biblical text reveals the surprising ways in which such seemingly simple stories rebuke, subvert, and sabotage our sinful habits, perspectives, and priorities. Discarding the notion that Jesus’s parables are nothing more than moralistic fables, Jared Wilson shows how each one is fathoms deep and designed to drive us to Jesus in awe, need, faith, and worship.

Lives Of Fame And Shame
$14.99

Bible teacher Herbert Lockyer presents biographical sketches of eleven men and women in a manner that provides both inspiration from their achievements and caution from their failures:

*Enoch
*Lot
*Rachel
*Elijah
*Saul
*David and Jonathan
*Asa
*Herod
*Barnabas
*Timothy

“Here are men and women of like passions as ourselves, and they appeal to the imagination of the average person today because of a similarity of experience. Like these ancient characters, we triumph by faith, as some of them did, or fail through disobedience and unbelief, as others did….The lives of men and women of old may be a continual inspiration or warning to us in these modern times.”

Dangerous Sisters Of The Hebrew Bible
$43.33

Fathers, sons, and mothers take center stage in the Bibles grand narratives, Amy Kalmanofsky observes. Sisters and sisterhood receive less attention in scholarship but, she argues, play an important role in narratives, revealing anxieties related to desire, agency, and solidarity among women playing out (and playing against) their roles in a patrilineal society. Most often, she shows, sisters are destabilizing figures in narratives about family crisis, where property, patrimony, and the resilience of community boundaries are at risk. Kalmanofsky demonstrates that the particular role of sisters had important narrative effects, revealing previously underappreciated dynamics in Israelite society.

Good News Of Revelation
$18.00

Readers of the Bible rarely, if ever, turn to the book of Revelation for comfort or assurance in hard times. In fact, many popular interpretations of Revelation today focus on predicting a terrifying future that leaves many unsettled and disconnected from John’s original message to the seven churches, many of whom were suffering persecution under the Roman Empire. Revelation encouraged its original readers to persevere as they waited for God to eradicate evil, restore justice, and redeem the world. Revelation speaks to the past, present, and future church with the assurance of Christ’s victory over evil and the promise that faithfulness will be richly rewarded. This often perplexing book of the Bible reveals good news about the rule of Christ and the future of God’s people. Rather than saying, “Watch out The Anti-Christ is coming” Revelation tells its readers, “Hold on, Jesus is Lord”
